The problem is teachers unions and how they use the money allocated to the schools...Vegas » 07 Mar 2025, 12:04 pm » wrote: ↑ Many will say yes. Many will say no. Let's first post some facts. There are a lot more than what I quoted, but I want to specifically focus on how it funded more impoverished area schools that otherwise would have been neglected by the states. The truthful answer to whether or not the DOE made things worse or better is impossible to know. Before the DOE, there was no way of doing any national ranking to compare us to the rest of the world. The DOE made that possible. However, the results were not pretty.
Is this because the DOE made it worse or did the DOE just expose what was already in place?
I think this is a double-edged sword. On one hand, it allowed poorer areas more funding. On the other hand, it's usually the poor areas who are not academically proficient. Therefore, we included a mass of kids who incessantly score below average in the national ranking, where as before, they were not included. Thus, our national and world ranking has always been embarrassingly low.
It was the unions that introduced DEI into the schools..

IN MY 99.5 PERCENT WHITE SCHOOL....what was the annual budget for chalk, the same old black boards, the same old erasers and the same old text books from 1949...?
There was never any doubt about our academic status as compared to the rest of the world...in spite of our "disadvantaged" upbringing [with only chalk to derive the Quadratic Equation with and only slide rules, triangles and a T Square to plot the arc of a ballistic missile].
I wonder how many 99 percent Negro schools ever reached that level of math proficiency...IN THE TECH AGE AND AT $15,000 PER PUPIL... ?

DOE is a product of a broken culture.
Entertainment is worshipped. Reading is damn near non-existent.
STEM studies are so dead that we have to import Asians for STEM jobs.
But...China....bad

He who controls the purse strings, controls everything indirectly.Vegas » 07 Mar 2025, 1:01 pm » wrote: ↑ Not really. They don't take charge of curriculums. the states do that. They try to streamline funds so that all schools can have an equal amount of funding, not just the rich ones. It also opened up opportunities for special ed. The education part of it is actually mostly done by the states...mostly.
You may want to let those **** useless cocksuckers off the hook...
I tacitly lean toward not letting them off. In the most respectful manner possible.
Please seat yourself.
